AURA Hobart

They were a bit surprised when I explained I wanted all the dishes. We held back on a few items but basically got everything. The menu was reasonably priced so it wasn't actually outrageous. The share plate formula was engaging in combinations and presentation. Delicious. I enjoyed all flavours. Friendly service, lovely views and modern enviornment. I recommend. There may be more sophicisted menus in town but I feel you can have everything here.

Excellent food with a burst of flavour. highly recommend the smoked rainbow trout .The service was wonderful and the ambience was perfect with a spectacular view. An incredible dining experience!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Aura in Hobart, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment I stepped inside, the ambiance was captivating, radiating an elegant and sophisticated aura. What an unforgettable evening!

The menu has a really stunning array of culinary delights that showcase both creativity and culinary expertise. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The chef's attention to detail was evident in every bite. I was particularly impressed with the freshness of the ingredients and the harmonious combinations of flavors!

Just a small advice to the team at Aura - The guy wearing glasses and suit who took our order, he didn’t know anything about the menu or the food. Being a vegetarian, I asked him for recommendations but he just went recited the entire vegetarian menu. A little improvement to the service could go a long way.

If you're seeking a remarkable dining experience that will leave a lasting impression, you MUST visit Aura. I cannot recommend it highly enough and can’t wait to revisit this culinary gem. Kudos to the Chef!!!

(Note : rating as an IHG club visitor). Fantastic views of Hobart in 3 directions for both club and public guests. I'm surprised that this area wasn't busier for both food and drinks. I'm rating the food based on club canapes and drinks however both the breakfast for club and the regular guest menu would be from the same kitchen = very nice. Worth a visit. They do high teas in the afternoon too.

Tasmania trip (last minute as usual due to ever changing covid restrictions 🤦🤣). Dinner at @aurahobart - chef's menu: absolutely delicious food, with every course being very creative and full of interesting flavours! It might have been an off night, but service was a bit lackluster with a general lack of interest from the wait staff. Although I understand they might be short-staffed and overworked due to staff furlough from being exposed to covid. Overall, as the food was the main focus, I still enjoyed the dinner very much!
.
Cucumber, trout roe, edible succulent: such a cute little snack! The roe was nice and light, and worked well with the crunch of the cucumber and the succulent.
.
Shiitake mushroom crisps and saltbush: I really loved this one! The mushroom crisps were so good 🤤🤤🤤.
.
Stewed strawberry soup: it's sweet but also a bit savoury - very interesting flavours!
.
Boarfish, turnip, rhubarb and honey sauce: beautifully presented, and really delicate flavours. Good combination of textures. I'm not sure what the little crunchy seeds are on the turnip, but they really make it yummy!
.
Scallop Ceviche, with pumpkin, macadamia foam: wow this looked incredible, and also tasted amazing too. I loved the macadamia foam - literally tasted like eating macadamias 🤤🤤🤤.
.
Murray cod, squid noodles, and onion broth: the cod was nicely done! The noodles were made from squid - absolutely delicious. And that broth was very bold in flavour.
.
Sou vide lamb rump, mountain pepper and mushrooms: the lamp was super super tender! The mushrooms were really yummy too. The sauce was a bit on the salty side, but with the lamb, it was good. Lex felt it was too salty, but it was perfect for me, as I do like saltier foods.
.
Potato bread and salad: the bread was very interesting! Made from potato? Really soft.
.
Summer fruit salad with lemon myrtle cream: wow this dessert dish is so gorgeous! Layer upon layer of shaved rockmelon, with some watermelon inside, and in the middle of that, the lemon myrtle cream. Such creativity!
.
Christmas cake with crumbled meringue: I love this kind of cake, so it was delicious for me. Moist and soft!
.
Bottlebrush sorbet, pig's face sauce: this was a bit of a palate cleanser for right after the lamb course, and it was really delicious! We had to google what pig's face was 🧐🧐.
.
Blue cheese with butter marmalade and peonies (not pictured 🤦🤦): the marmalade worked really well with the blue cheese and made it less strong in taste. Good finish to the meal!

My favorites restaurant in Hobart.
It is no ordinary restaurant you can find anywhere. Their food will always surprise you in a good way. The atmosphere and view are bonus. Absolutely love it!

If you are making a reservation, I will suggest to book the time before sunset when the sky is still bright.

Absolutely loved my dining experience here, in fact the whole experience! The venue was welcoming & comfortable. The Food and Drinks were to die for! And the Service was second to none. I will definitely be back next time I'm visiting Hobart, and I will definitely recommend to everyone 😃😃😃

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Contemporary European cuisine, a stylish cocktail and wine list and.... views that leave you me mesmerised.
Make sure you book well in advance even on a weeknight, they are always busy.

We had a delightful dining here. Warm and attentive staff and all the dishes were crafted with perfection. Highly recommend

Made a last minute booking due to a flight delay. Great view, friendly attentive staff. Really feel thought out wine and cocktail list and food was interesting and tasty. We tried the Tuna Carpaccio, Fried Okra with Anchovies, Grilled mushrooms and Market Fish.

Amazing food. We tried the Chef’s experience, and it didn’t disappoint. Personal fave is the Choux Pastry with Pyengana Cheese filling.

The love for local produce shines through the plates. Totally worth experiencing!!

Staff were lovely, food was delicious and views were stunning, what more could you want!
Sharing style menu, was great for the two of us but would be perfect for a larger group

A fabulous shared lunch with recommendations made by a delightful waitress. Food exceeded expectations with amazing taste sensations with every dish. Staff are friendly & knowledgeable and have a good sense of humour. Couldn't fault anything about the food, drinks, staff and atmosphere. Very highly recommend. Well worth the money.

A lovely and cozy restaurant with beautiful Local dishes and a great wine range. Their local oysters is amazing. Ambience ❤❤❤❤
Best for candlelight dinner

Thankyou to Bonnie for making our night very special! Excellent and genuine service, top show! Also, the food was pretty dang good too!

I had the most incredible experience from my birthday at Aura. Impeccable staff, incredible food, and the views were stunning. The staff were very accommodating and let us stay longer than we had booked for.
Highly recommend this place for any occasion.
Thanks for having us.

I visited Aura when I stayed in Crown. Such a magnificent bar with variety of cocktails and nibbles. Had Negroni and my partner had mocktail. Both drinks were outstanding and the ambiance was fantastic. Worth visiting while in Hobart, and its only rooftop bar in Hobart.

Very nice menu and interior decor, but it’s really all about the view! Ideal venue for an upscale meal.

Food and service was amazing! Best rainbow trout and pork belly we have ever had!

We booked the chef's menu and everything was perfect and delicious with great service, i wish they would open in Sydney
